safe. you could if you wanted to. leland: i'm hiring you as my defense attorney and you will have great insights tomorrow on fox news sunday, gillian turner on the panel and we will be back here at 1:00 o'clock eastern. see you tomorrow. eric: well, our country approaching grim milestone in the coronavirus pandemic, one-third of the states across the nation have experienced a rise in covid-19 infections. florida confirming 9600 new cases in a single day, setting record and the state is not alone. texas, california, georgia, south carolina, utah among others. all this forcing some states to hit a pause on reopening as the virus is showing no signs of receding. hello, everyone, i'm eric sean, this is america's news headquarters. hi, arthel. arthel: hi, eric, i'm arthel neville, well, now leaders in texas and florida are reinstating some lockdown

measures like shutting down bars as the number of cases surge in the south and the southwest and out west as well. the white house coronavirus task force addressing the issue yesterday as the nation approaches 2 and a half million cases and surpasses sadly 125,000 deaths. vice president mike pence now calling for vigilance. >> we stand here today, we believe we've made progress, but as we are reminded as we see cases rising across the south, that we still have work to do and so we say to every american, particularly those in counties and in states that are being impacted by rising cases that -- arthel: steve harrigan, live in atlanta, steve. steve: arthel, texas and florida are both aggressive in reopening

economies now each taking stepback putting restrictions on bars. floyd had 5,985 new cases, record for florida. the number of new cases is up more than 70% in just one week. up more than 500% in florida since memorial day. the death rate has not spiked dramatically as new case rates. some officials in florida are saying that the real behind the spike in new cases is because of increased testing, more than 40,000 tests per day now. >> if you compare overall florida to states like new york, 3,300 deaths compared to 31,000 deaths in new york. that's almost ten times the amount of deaths. steve: some cities within florida are taking their own measures, pensacola has now made masks mandatory in public and also the mayor of miami-dade

saying the beaches will be shut down for fourth of july holiday, arthel. arthel: steve, dr. anthony fauci had a message for all americans yesterday notably young people. what can you tell us about that? steve: that's right, it came after the announcement of 45,000 new cases in the u.s., record on friday after thursdays' record and wednesday's record and dr. fauci from the task force addressing comments squarely to young people across the u.s. >> when you do that, you are part of the process. you get infected, you will infect someone else who clearly will infect someone else. you will clear someone who is vulnerable. that maybe somebody's grandmother, grandfather, uncle who is on chemotherapy and radiation or a child that has leukemia. steve: europe could begin blocking travelers from the u.s. to europe as early as tuesday

due to high levels of the outbreak in the u.s., arthel, back to you. arthel: steve, thank you very much for that report. eric. eric: arthel, new actions against those who have been toppling our nation's statutes. president trump signed executive order to protect those monuments, memorials and statutes, this as those historic monuments an statutes across the country as you know have become targets of anger and vandalism amid the ongoing protest. hundreds of people have been gathered in lincoln park last night for heated but largely peaceful demonstration about the fate of the emancipation memorial in washington, d.c. live team fox news coverage on all of this, david spunt is at the white house. let's begin with lucas tomlinson who is live in washington's lincoln park with more on the president's order and that's where the statute of president lincoln has sparked new controversy, hi, lucas. lucas: hi, eric, president trump says he wants to give ten years to any vandals who deface or

destroy any of the monuments. interior secretary says he wants to see an end to mob violence. >> you don't get to go up and start self-executing to tear down a monument. most of the monuments were placed with acts of congress with the liberation, with careful thought placed into thought by artists and great con people rations to establish them and they are not just simply torn down because some person thinks that's a good idea. lucas: promising more assistance to protect monuments and cutting aid who would destroy the monuments, eric. eric: yeah, lucas, it's unbelievable. it seems to me that they are going after all sorts of monuments, george washington, thomas jefferson as well as abolitionists, people who fought against slavery as well as veterans of world war i and world war ii. what other monuments have recently come down?

lucas: well, eric, it's not a monument, moments ago princeton university announced it was removing woodrow wilson from policy school. >> they won't be successful. the united states park, the metropolitan police, the men and women of the district of colombia national guard will protect the monuments and statutes. lucas: riders launched fireworks at police officers seen from body-cam video. one bipartisan was struck with fireworks. mob was order today leave the robert e lee monument due to paintballs fired at police officers. one officer was struck. at dc, statute with abraham lincoln with freed slave will come down soon.

norton said that even though freed slaves paid for statute he said it was done without input. and tomorrow on fox news sunday, chris wallace sits down with eleanor holmes norton, check your local listing, eric. eric: lucas, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: eric, we will head over to the white house now where we find david spunt with the latest reaction from the president. hi, david. david: hi, arthel, good afternoon to you. the president has made what happened to the monuments and other federal property a 2020 campaign issue. he's talked about a lot over the past few weeks, in fact, he was supposed to be in bedminster, new jersey i was supposed to be in new jersey, canceled trip and said he would stay at the white house all weekend to make sure law and order is enforced in washington, d.c. when it comes to monuments and other federal property. now speaking of monuments, one of the monuments you did not see

in lucas' report, andrew jackson monument, the seventh president of the united states in lafayette park, now on monday vandals put chains on the famed statute trying to get it down. they were unsuccessful. minutes later authorities on the scene, blocked out the park. now there's no access to the statute. look at the fbi most wanted poster here. president trump tweeted this to his 80 plus million followers, 15 people wanted for vandalizing the jackson statute. some of the time it's hard to tell because people have masks on but authorities say they have a jump-start on some of these identities of destruction of federal property. remember, it could bring people up to 10 years in jail. that is a point officials in the trump administration want to stress. you do something like this, you could get up to 10 years behind bars, arthel. arthel: david, you spoke with fbi director, what did he say? david: strategic information and

operation center, the hub of all intelligence when it comes to vandalism across the country. this is video inside of that sioc command. fbi director wray said the fbi is working with local partners and federal partners to stop it. >> the violence and destruction of property that we've been seeing in certain parts of the country is illegal and it needs to stop now. equal justice is essential but violence and destruction of property is not the way to ensure it and to the extent that there's a federal nexus involved in that conduct, people need to understand that the fbi will take steps to investigate and hold the wrong doers accountable. david: director wray and members of team say they expect to see more vandalism and unrest as we

move forward and counterpressure to predict next hot spots an listen to social media chatter and find out where the next hot spots would be around the country, arthel. arthel: all right, david spunt, thank you very much for that report. eric. eric: well, arthel, the coronavirus pandemic, of course, continues to take a staggering economic toll on our nation. just take a look at the impact. first time jobless claims surpasses 1 million workers for the 14th week overall. 47 million jobs have been lost since mid-march. of those 47 million, nearly 20 million are fellow americans, well, they remain out of work without employment, so what does the future hold. jon hilsenrath, global economic's editor at wall street journal and fox news contributor joins us now. jon, the administration has been touting progress but how could the new increasing infections that are causing some states to roll back their reopenings, how could this impact and negatively hit the recovery? jon: well, it certainly could

slow it down. we started to get some very encouraging data in may. we saw a pickup in employment which people hadn't been expecting. we saw a pickup in consumer spending as people came out of their homes and, you know, went out to patio restaurants and such, and, you know, if we start to see infections pick up again and deaths pick up again it could certainly slow the scale of the recovery that we are seeing. you know, you mentioned a moment ago the people collecting unemployment benefits. there's good news and bad news. that number of people receiving unemployment benefits was 24 million a few weeks ago. it's come down, but nearly 20 million is still astonishingly high number and shows that we have a major hill to climb -- hole to climb out of in this economy. eric: some economists predicts

some jobs would never come back, what do you think? jon: it's hard to make predictions, when this whole thing started, the shutdown started the hope for workers and employers that the job cuts were going to be temporary and everything would get back on line, you know, the worry now is we have a lot of the losses will be permanent. the airlines are a good example of. this are they going to get back to full traffic loads they were at a few months ago. i think they'll be permanent loss. the economy will recover, it always does. we will have more employment down the road, but it's going -- looks like it could take some time to get back to the kind of really strong footing we were at just in january and february. you know, i want to say one other thing about this virus, you know, there's -- in your earlier segment you noted that -- that infection reports were increasing. it's a hard thing to put a finger on because -- because there's more testing also, but

what we are also seeing in some places like texas and florida, hospitalizations are increasing and we also saw deaths flatten out and possibly rising again, so it does look like this is more than just more testing. it does look like we are seeing increased infections. eric: some people say you have more cases because of testing, some officials say that's not the case at all. they are looking at the stats and they show the infection rate is increasing beyond the testing and as you said hospitalizations are very important. here is eugene scalia who was on fox news channel earlier talking about the progress. >> we put out job's report for may that was stupendous, record-level increases, same thing with new home construction. there are positive signs and i heard a lot of optimism about

reopening and reopening safely and that was a conversation in texas earlier this week. eric: maybe some positive signs but they are not reopening safely, you see what is happening in lone star state, in arizona and others. so what happens in the next few months and how long do we get back to it? jon: well, you know, i don't want to be too negative about. this the labor secretary was right. we saw surprising increase in unemployment in may and we did see consumer increase, but it's also the case that the -- that if the virus continue to spread and infections increase it's going to have economic impact. i think what we learned from march and april, we have to find some better way, some better middle ground to go about our business without imperilling ourselves, shutting the whole economy down was devastating and extremely costly, but at the same time, you know, when people pile back into bars we are discovering that that could be a

dangers -- dangerous thing and we have to find middle ground and hopefully down the road we will get better treatments that reduce the fatality rate from the disease and one of the things that we are also seeing increase number of young people catching this as opposed to older people. they seem to be more resilient to the disease. there's a lot to learn and we have to find better ways to manage the trade-off between the economy and between the virus and i think on both sides of this political argument, you can't dismiss either side's point. it is devastating to shut everything down for the economy, but it's also dangerous to ignore the virus. eric: we are seeing how dangerous it is to ignore the virus and the officials say wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands as you know, don't let up and do be in big groups. jon hilsenrath of the washington journal, good to see you on this weekend, thank you. jon: thank you, eric. eric: of course, arthel. arthel: well, eric, hundreds of

thousands of people across the country are still waiting for their unemployment checks to arrive. the delays due to backlogs and outstated state systems. in washington state alone 71,000 people are waiting for their cases to be resolved. one woman in clark county in state's southern border says she started receiving benefits but then got flagged for id check and has not received anything since. >> id and social security card six times in total. arthel: her stepfather has it even worse. >> he has been waiting since march 15th and has not gotten a letter, he has not gotten a phone call. he has got nothing and he just keeps claiming. arthel: washington state says it has processed one hundred thousand applications in the last 1 weeks alone with the help

of the national guard. a federal judge ordering the release of migrant children detained with their parents amid concerns over the coronavirus spreading inside facilities, this as the supreme court gives the greenlight to fast track deportations. more on both stories coming up next. eatment, eatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened.

taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. needles. fine for some. but for you, there's a pill that may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. an "unjection™".

well, see this handsome man, his name was william. and william fell in love with rose and they had a kid. his name was charles and charles met martha... isn't she pretty? yeah. you're having one more bite! no! one more bite! ♪ kraft. for the win win.

arthel: the standoff inside seattle's chop zone holding fast. protestors meeting meeting withe mayor, despite the show of defiance the mayor vows those barriers will come down soon, claudia cowan live. hi, claudia. reporter: hi, arthel, there was the meeting with the mayor but still no clear plan for what will happen next and uneasy truth now settled over the chop zone after tense standoff yesterday. city crews arrived in the area with backhoes and flat-bed trucks to remove the barricades that the city had provided to

help black lives matter. police eventually gave the order to pull back and they left without removing anything. the mayor's office issued a statement saying, quote, safety is the city's first priority but many people in the wider chop area don't buy that because after 19 days there's still no police presence here. the city's retreat was the latest frustration for don mcdermontt whose shop was vandalized despite repeated calls to 911, no one came. >> our open is that they would come in and clean the ms. up and we get our streets back andty -- city back. i have no words. reporter: mcdermontt and others are demanding and was reported that the city could remove

barricades tomorrow and unclear if protestors who couldn't get in the meeting would let that happen peacefully anyway. now a second federal law enforcement accuses the mayor as well as governor inslee of violating the area and violating rights of those who work and live in the neighborhood. this comes in heels of class action lawsuit and no response from any city leaders, arthel. arthel: claudia cowan, thank you very much. eric: judge says it's because of the spread of coronavirus in the facilities. coronavirus live in los angeles with much more on this. kristina, what's the deadline after release the children.

christina: the federal judge ordered the release of children held for more than 20 days at 3 family detention centers operated by ice in texas and pennsylvania citing the recent spread of covid-19 and two of the three facilities. the court writing in its opinion, in part, quote, the family residential centers are on fire and there's no more time for half measures. now the court filings in this case, these court filings here indicate that as of 2 days ago 11 people detained at the ice detention center in texas have been diagnosed with covid-19 and at least 4 employees of the billy texas facility have tested positive for virus, eric. eric: there's a separate decision on the president's use of military funding for the border wall that's under construction. christina: yes, that's right, ninth u.s. circuit appealed illegally side-stepped congress with transfer of $2.5 billion for military construction

projects to build parts of the wall at southern border. chief judge thomas wrote for the majority in the 2 to 1 decision and pointed out that congress has already repeatedly rejected the trump administration's request to spend billions of dollars on the wall. house speaker nancy pelosi echoing the court's ruling that congress has the power of the purse. she released a statement saying in part, quote, president trump's ongoing attempts to undermine military readiness by stealing critical defense funding to pay for his wall is reckless and endangers the american people. the latest turn in the ongoing legal fight between coalition of border states and environmental groups and the trump administration over the wall. trump has argued the wall is needed to prevent drug smuggling and other illegal activity. last july the supreme court allowed the $2.5 billions to be used for the wall while litigation continued. also in a -- major win, the

court ruled that administration can deport some people applying for asylum. this was for people who failed initial asylum screenings making it quick deportation. eric. eric: thanks so much. arthel. arthel: eric, thank you. the cdc expanding the list of possible coronavirus symptoms as the number of confirmed cases approaches 2.5 million here in the u.s. the new signs to watch out for and who is most at risk. we will talk about that next. hi. uh, can you tell me how to get to i-70, please? o-okay, are you -- ah, yes. thank you. switch to progressive and you can save hundreds.

you know, like the sign says.

switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. i but what i do count on...ts anis boost high protein...rs, and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen. >> you have an individual responsibility to yourself, but you have a societal responsibility because if we want to end this outbreak, really end it and hopefully when a vaccine comes and puts the nail in the coffin, we are to

realize that we are part of the process. arthel: so as coronavirus cases surge here in the u.s. mostly in the south and west, the cdc adding 3 new symptoms to its ongoing list and expanding the list of whose most at risk for the virus. the agency warning that most among adults risk increases steadily as you age, not just over 65. let's bring in dr. george díaz now, section of chief of infectious diseases for provinance health. dr. díaz, good to have you, if you can start to tell us what are the new symptoms and why they have been added to the list. doctor: yeah, there are new symptoms that were added by the cdc, this include congestion, runny nose, diarrhea. we have seen in many patients and i think our typical of any sort of viral infection and

added to the list of symptoms of covid including fever, cough, shortness of breath, et cetera, the symptoms are common in covid and cdc we wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that this could be a way that patients can present with symptoms of the disease. arthel: understood. and younger people who are obese and have underlying health problems now in the coronavirus target list. how sick can they get from covid-19 and why weren't they considered high risk before now? doctor: yeah, this goes back to even the outbreak that occurred with h1n1 about a decade ago. back then we found that people that were obese were much higher risk for severe outcomes with than formal flu. meaning the immune system is sort of up regulated and can

malfunction with viral infection. so i think that's true with covid-19 as well. we know that the people that do worse with covid-19 have abnormal immune response to the virus which is what does much of the damage in severe disease. the obese patients have higher propensity because of their immune systems progress to severe disease. the cdc added them to the list as well as well as high risk based on the observation that is we have seen the patients do worse in general. arthel: i know that you measure obesity by body mass index, bmi, if you could tell news terms of pounds i think they can understand. if i'm 50 pounds over my target goal or, you know, that i'm considered obese and also if you could at the same time answer this, when you talk about young people, what age group are we talking about, and would you consider them super spreaders?

doctor: well, with respect to super spreaders, i think that's a little bit harder to identify who might be a super spreader. those events are found after the fact. we had a choir practice in washington state just before our governor had implemented the -- the closure of those sorts of events and within the group of people, in the choir, maybe around 100 people that were there and something like 80 of them were infected by a single individual that was infected and wasn't aware of it. we don't know exactly who would be a super spreader but we do know there's a lot of transmission of covid before people have symptoms and the concern is that someone who has no symptoms and is in a crowd could cause super-spreader event because they are shedding a lot more virus than a lot of people

would. with respect to obesity, the -- bmi, one looks who is usually over 30 and general way for normal male that is, you know, say 5'8, weight and pounds that would be considered obesity would probably be in range of 180, 190 points. it doesn't take a lot of right to -- to make you at high risk for -- higher risk for a severe outcome with covid-19. so we keep an eye on the patients carefully when they come into the hospital. in terms of the age, it can really be almost any nature adulthood. these are patients over the age of 18 who are obese who are at highest risk and we saw this with h1n1, we saw very young patients with obesity who developed severe disease and i think it's likely the same here

with covid. arthel: right, i'm really up against the clock but i really have to get this in here very important. a pregnant woman diagnosed with covid-19 are greater risk of having severe illness or being hospitalized. if you could tell me very concisely what does that mean for the mother and for the baby. >> well, it's mostly the mother. you know, obviously the baby can be affected if the mother gets ill. pregnancy is a state where the immune state is also altered by the virtue of having a child in development, and for those reasons a pregnant woman can have severe disease and we have seen it in cases where a woman delivered as well, not be that sick and delivery and get worse. this is another area that we are monitoring very closely and we are screening all of our pregnant women when they come to the hospital for those reasons. arthel: very good, dr. george díaz, thank you very much for

joining us. doctor: thank you. arthel: eric. eric: well, president trump dismissing joe biden's comment about wearing face masks and making that mandatory. presumptive democratic nominee said he would take executive action if he's elect today require every american to wear a face covering while in public. jacqui heinrich live in new york city following the race for contract, hi, jacqui. reporter: vice president joe biden said he would make from executive standpoint suggesting that he might sign some sort of an order requiring it but a number of states require masks to be worn in public to varying degrees. 46 states require masks in public either statewide or certain locals with 80 -- excuse me, 18 states requiring mask at all times when social distancing is not possible. four states including iowa, montana, wisconsin and south

dakota have no mask requirements at all. biden's pledge comes in heels of fox news poll showing the majority of democrats and republican have a favorable opinion of people who wear masks including 61% of people who strongly approve of president trump. it also follows new polling showing biden is more trusted than president trump on coronavirus concerns contributing to biden's lead in several key states. biden is ahead in battleground florida, also georgia, once reliably red and north carolina. biden slightly in north carolina and georgia are within margin of error but fox poll shows concerning trend for trump's reelection campaign, with texas, republican stronghold now a toss-up race. >> what we really saw is that trump and the republicans as the race issue surfaced, as the virus became more difficult really took a nose dive whereas biden didn't actually improve

his internal numbers but he improved in the difference between the two of the horse race. reporter: in the meantime trump's campaign did not appear threatened by those numbers. >> we know that this is a poll registered not likely voters and that changes the dynamic. oversampling of democrats versus lower sampling of republicans. reporter: now fox poll also -- came rather on the same day that a cns college new york times poll also showed biden ahead of president trump in 6 battleground states, eric. eric: all right, jacqui, thanks so much. meanwhile the trump administration again taking aim at the affordable care act. so what is the legal argument for scrapping the law and how would that impact the 20 million americans who rely on obamacare?

that er. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. next. ick or call for a quote today.

this is nothing new. throughout our history any time something bad has happened to us ...we've recovered. every time. we fall, we rise. we break, we rebuild. we stumble, we learn. we come together. we work together. we innovate and create. we meet up and get to work. we find our way forward. every time. this has been the key to our survival, the key to our growth that whenever we thought we were at our weakest, this is when we became the strongest, became the best version of ourselves, and found our way home. together. masimo. together in hospital. together at home.

eric: well, the trump administration is telling the supreme court to scrap obamacare. the administration arguing that the affordable care act is in its entirety illegal. it claims because congress eliminated the individual tax penalty for failing to purchase medical insurance. president trump this morning tweeting this in part, quote, deductibility is far too high and the overall cost is ridiculous. my administration has gone out of its way to manage obamacare much better than previous, but it is still no good. i will always protect people with preexisting conditions. for more on this let's go to john decker, white house correspondent, fox news radio and attorney, john, first let me get your legal view, so counselor decker, kind of complicated, the elimination of the individual tax penalty.

is that enough of a legal hook for the administration to say, hey, the whole law has to be thrown out? >> well, that's the argument that was put forward by texas and about 18 other states and that was a winning argument with the federal district court judge in texas and it also wanted the appellate level, fifth circuit court of appeals in new orleans and now the supreme court will have its say likely in the fall term which begins the first monday in october, so right before the presidential election the supreme court will hear a case concerning the constitutionality of the affordable care act. we may think this is dejavu all over again because they already looked at the case before in 2012, but now as you mentioned in the introduction, eric, the affordable -- the individual mandate is no longer there, and the argument put forward by the texas attorney general is that without the individual mandate, the entire obamacare law comes crashing down.

eric: so, jon, continuing contih your legal hat, what do you think could potentially happen in the fall? chief justice john roberts has been unorthodox, what do you think? >> he was a above toll vote back in 2012 as it realities to constitutionality. a lot of conservatives still remember that and they are not pleased by that vote that he took back in 2012 and now the court has changed. there are two new member it was court that will hear the arguments being put forward by republican attorneys general as well as democrats attorneys general represent bid xavier becerra from the state of california, because of the change makeup of the supreme court is big unknown. the biggest unknown is what john roberts, the chief justice does now that this part of the affordable care act is no longer there. eric: you have a gut on what they will say?

jon: no, i don't predict what the supreme court is going to do. i don't think anybody with two cents worth of intelligence will predict what the supreme court is going to do. ly let them decide on this particular matter. eric: very well said, yes, meanwhile politically because of the pandemic, increase in enrollments have been up like 46%, 154,000 or so new enrollees in obamacare, so politically, how does the trump administration view to scrap a law, how does that fit into the politics? jon: this plays to the base, certainly. the president pledge today remove obamacare, of course, the position taken by solicit or general on the filing that came forward earlier this week, at the same time democrats argue this is not the time to argue for getting rid of obamacare in the midst of a health crisis, in the midst of a pandemic and

politically, i can see the arguments on both sides. it certainly energizes the president's base, but at the same time it may also energize democrats who are arguing now is now the time to get rid of the affordable care act. eric: it certainly will potentially play into joe biden's hands. speaker nancy pelosi in a statement in part said about the trump administration move to get rid of the law saying, quote, president trump and the republicans campaigned to rip away the protections that benefits of the affordable care act in the middle of the corona crisis is an act of unfathomable cruelty. if president trump gets his way 130 million americans with preexisting conditions will lose the aca's life-saving protections and 23 million americans will lose their health coverage entirely. there is no legal justification and no moral excuse for the trump administration's disastrous efforts to take away americans' healthcare that from

nancy pelosi. i guess that will echo a democratic talking point for the next few months, jon. jon: absolutely. what we saw during the first two years of the trump administration, eric, is an effort to repeal and replace the affordable care act. 3 republican senators voted against the effort, john mccain, lisa murkowski and susan collins and the reason they did is because there was nothing to replace it and that same argument is there even if the supreme court says that the affordable care act as it stands right now needs to be done away with, it's unconstitutional. nothing there replaces it and to the argument being put forward by nancy pelosi in that statement, what becomes of individuals who have those preexisting conditions, where do they get their health care? eric: jon decker, man of many talents, offers legal opinions and knows also when not to. jon on the north lawn of the white house. great to see you, jon. jon: have a good day. eric: of course, and we will be

right back. stay with us folks (music)
